WoundCue Kit study for detecting bacteria or fungus in wounds
This study tests if the WoundCue Kit can change color when there are bacteria or fungi in your wound, helping doctors know if an infection is present. You'll need a wound that drains fluid and shows fluorescence under a special light.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 21 years old and under a primary care doctor's care.
- Your wound should have moderate to heavy drainage, needing dressing changes 2 or more times a week.
- The wound must be 5 cm² or smaller.
- You can't use antibiotics (pills or creams) or other topical ointments on the wound now or in the past 14 days.
- You can't be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy during the study.

This study tests a new imaging device that uses fluorescence (special light) to detect bacteria and infection in wounds. Researchers will compare it to a standard method by taking small tissue samples. If you have a wound that's healing slowly, this might help doctors better understand and treat it.
This study tests a new quick swab test (WOUNDCHEK) to see if a chronic wound is infected or not. It's for adults with a venous leg ulcer, diabetic foot ulcer, or pressure sore that is not clearly infected.
This study looks at fluid from chronic (non-healing) wounds to understand why they don't heal and how biofilms (bacteria that stick to wounds) affect healing. The goal is to find better ways to treat these wounds.
This study tests whether a special infrared LED light can help heal wounds. It is for adults without chronic illnesses who have a wound that is healing normally.
This trial tests a new way to quickly diagnose necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs, also called flesh-eating infections) using a safe dye and a camera. If you are being checked for a possible NSTI, this could help doctors decide faster whether you have it and need treatment.
This study collects information on various wound types and how they respond to standard care. It aims to learn what works best for wounds that haven't healed after 4 weeks of treatment.
